Come for the drinks and stay for the music! This is exactly the experience that I received as I…read morepaid a visit to "Dawn Club", a cocktail bar combined with speakeasy vibes and live music that showcases jazz, swing, big band, and other genres of music. Located on Annie St and just a few steps away from Market St in the SOMA/Financial District of San Francisco, this place has been delivering some amazing tunes and vibes in the current form since 2023. Keep in mind that reservations are required here as seating is limited. However, if you arrive in between 5-7pm, they will accept walk-ins. The business hours usually run from 5pm-12am while staying open until 2am from Wednesday through Saturday. Even though this place has only been around since 2023, there is a ton of deep rich history behind it that goes back nearly a century. The original Dawn Club (with completely different ownership) existed in the same Monadnock Building on Market St in the 1930's and 1940's as it was a popular music venue from the Prohibition-era up until the end of WW2. Considering that everything ceased to operate up until 2023, the current ownership did the unthinkable and recreated everything as if you've taken a step back in time to a bygone era. This takes me to the interior layout of this place. There are no words to describe just how much I appreciate what they've done. The dim-lit lighting paired with the gorgeous bar, art-deco styling, swanky leather seating and beautifully-marbled tables really showcases just how well executed everything is. I'm also a huge fan of jazz music as the entire ambiance and environment is aesthetically pleasing to the eyes. Since we had a 7pm reservation, we were seated towards the front near the stage. Our hostess took our order as I went with a "Mutt's Mix" for myself and a "Grasshopper" for her. As soon as 8pm rolled around, the band "Fog City Swing" arrived on stage. They are a well-known big band ensemble that make several appearances at Dawn Club. The entire vibe and electricity hits perfectly as this is more along the lines of a dark bar that you might experience in New York or Chicago. All in all, "Dawn Club" absolutely exceeded my expectations on all levels. The entire layout, drink selection, and variety of musical guests that play here is definitely up my alley. Therefore, I am giving this place a perfect five-star rating.

4% surcharge: That surcharge is also applied to the cover charge when you reserve a table…read more Overall a great vibe, good cocktails. The bands are hit and miss; sometimes it's terrific. You can often snag a seat at the bar if you don't have a reservation. For the cocktails, some these are fantastic: 5/5: The Town Club. Very good spritzy version of a Singapore sling. 5: Hot seven: An excellent daisy whisky. 5: Tiger Rag. Invented by Owner Lee and Engrasio. 5: Blood Moon Shuffle. With foam topping. 4: Besame Mucho. Great low ABV. 4: Flutter tongue: good of. Holds up 4: Firehosue Five. Like a candied banana gin martini. 4: Dippermouth Dagger NA 2: Mutt's mix: over crushed ice. too much ginger.

I had an amazing birthday evening here last weekend while out on the town with my sister. It was…read moreour first time here and we had an unforgettable experience. We were greeted by Nina and she ensured we had an amazing time at Black Cat. Thank you Nina! You really went the extra miles to make sure we had a great time. I am a huge jazz appreciator and have been wanting to comer here since I first moved to the bay area. My only regret is waiting so long to make the time. The music was amazing, a band of young gentlemen who felt very traditional in their music, which I appreciated. It was easy to get swept up in the music and if you closed your eyes you could almost transport back to another era, which I feel is Black Cat's specialty. There are two floors, the street level floor is a bar that is open to the public and to go downstairs you have to purchase your ticket. Well worth it to support the artist and venue but if you just need a quick drink the bar upstairs is also very vintage/luxe feeling and probably better for a conversation. I ordered a Gin martini and made it a "happy meal" for an additional $6 so it came with a nice portion of fries that we split. We enjoyed the French onion dip as well - nice sized portion for splitting for an evening snack. We wet to the later show so didn't need too much. As it was my birthday we ordered a bottle of champagne to split. We did end up finishing the bottle but if not I think we could have arranged to take it home. I will absolutely be back.

I originally reserved tix for 2 to see PHER for $50/person at one of the tables in front of the bar. Options were for 7pm or 9:15pm, we went for 7. Note: There's a 22% service charge, which is separate from the tickets. There's a minimum spend of $20/person on Wed/Thurs/Fri, and $30 on Fri/Sat. Sales tax 8.63% added to all checks. My friend and I were 15 min late to the show (our dinner ran over), so our original table was given to someone else and we got a different seat. Honestly, all seats seem to be fine! The bar seating is great since it's slightly elevated, so you get a great view of the stage and have the bar in front of you. I absolutely loved the vibe of this place. PHER was amazing and I had such a good time. I was surprised at how short the show was, it lasted for about an hour and luckily, we were able to stay for the 9:15 show with no extra charge since there was space. Just note that they may ask you to buy something else on the menu if you decide to stay. The fries were delicious! I was not expecting to like it so much, perfect for 2 and SO CRISPY. Defs will get this again! Overall, I would come back. The price is a lil too much for what it is, also for such a short show, yet I did have great experience! Although every spot is a great view, tables by the front are recommended as servers tend to walk past your view pretty often.

DJ ET is to blame for my wedding reception NOT going as planned…read more You see, in our planning, I had said, listen Ivy Hill, we are thrilled to be working with you as part of our event at Sand Rock Farm. We were excited to have a cellist playing as our guests got to mix and mingle. And yes, we were really looking forward to music being played as we ate and enjoyed our LONG awaited wedding reception (that had been postponed cuz...ya know...Covid.) But we said it repeatedly...There really was NOT going to be ANY dancing. There was dancing. Lots of it. And it is all DJ ET's fault. THANK GOODNESS!!!! Honestly, working with the entire team at Ivy Hill was a dream. Their selection of musical genres and musicians is nothing short of impressive. I will warn you now...that questionnaire is exhaustive...like it gets INTO the songs you like. But it is TOTALLY worth it. Matt reached out right before our reception just to check if we were good and to get us in touch with DJ ET. The cellist was AMAZING. And before you ask...YES...he can and WILL play a Game of Thrones medley. It was AMAZING. He also learned the music to my father's favorite hymn. When I heard him start to play it, I just started to cry because thanks to him, my father, who passed some time ago, was there...in that song...and in that cello. I can't recommend Ivy Hill Entertainment enough. They clearly have put in the work of bringing on the best of the best when it comes to musicians, performers and DJs. They take the headache and worry out of the planning and logistics. True pros in every sense. And my special nod to DJ ET who proved that the Mills Brothers and Blacksheep really DO belong on the same playlist.

Highly Recommended, Quality Entertainment: Wow - what a fantastic experience! Ivy Hill…read moreEntertainment truly is your "one stop music and entertainment shop." From working in events, I understand that heartfelt, professional, seamless entertainment is a key component to creating a memorable celebration. It brings people together, inspires guests, and sets the tone of your party. I've worked with some pretty cool musicians, but Ivy Hill Entertainment definitely stands out as the BEST. When it came time to plan the ultimate personal event - our wedding - we wanted a music-based celebration that stood apart from "typical wedding music". The idea was a multi-musical-styled evening showcasing classical music, New Orleans Big Band, a roaming violinist at dinner (Ivy Hill's gal, MJ, even played pop hits like Stayin' Alive and had everyone singing!), an intimate pub sing-along, and finally a rockin' reception. This was certainly an ambitious repertoire! I began researching bands/musicians and initially fell into a short panic. Most bands didn't seem to have the magical vibe, musical diversity, network, and professionalism (Can we count on the to show up for gods sake...) for me to book. In fact, none of the musicians resonated with our event's style.... and then I found Ivy Hill Entertainment. WOW. Game changer. From the moment of contact to the actual execution we had an amazing experience that was fun, stress free, collaborative, easy, and QUALITY. Ivy Hill has many options on how to book talent - actually super talent. You can hire anyone from a dope DJ to solo musician to the 9-musician "build-a-band" act we employed. My initial contact was Brian Bergeron who not only understood our vision, but encouraged us to make it happen. What an awesome guy. He was just as excited as we were! In fact, that's what stands out about Ivy Hill - their passion for music and events. They truly love what they do and understand the honor of being part of your event. Ivy Hill also offers such quality musicians! I couldn't believe we had all these cool people playing our wedding! It was great to see their musical backgrounds and sound samples from the website and resources. For our wedding, they supplied everything from the sound technician, musical equipment, speakers, musicians, and even an amazing Bandleader extraordinaire: Jon Devoto. Man, this guy was incredible! In addition to coordinating the musicians, he was also the lead singer, MC... and as a special request, include some mind-blowing tap dancing. Everyone loved him! I wish I could go through each of the musicians (Debbie Ilana, the New Classics, MJs Brass Boppers) because they brought so much flavor & style. It was like a mini-musical festival. The best part is that whatever you decide to book - whether it be an intimate musical vibe, dope DJ, or full-blown band - they deliver a memorable performance and professional experience. This team is full of talent and heart. They also have a big network of musicians and DJs so you don't need to worry about flaky musicians or no-shows. God forbid someone gets sick, they have the resources to ensure you are set. I trust them implicitly. I knew that I had nothing to worry about when booking them. The communication was clear and timely. We were in-line every step of the way. In fact, they are the only company I will use for future events. If you seek a top-notch service, this is the place for you. As you can see form their website, Ivy Hill Entertainment has a lot to offer. They exceeded our already high expectations. It is my pleasure to write this review and spread the word.
